Don't know if you will have success with Threadfins in such a small BOW. As for BG, I've heard 25 pairs per acre for a brood pond. Adult BG will eat YOY Threadfin and YOY BG.

If you aren't planning on aerating, and plan on pushing carrying capacity, you'll need a way to take dissolved O2 readings.

Do you have a Secchi disc? If not, buy/build one. You'll need it.
